Best Answer: Yes – that's the basic idea.
However, you need to check if your current RAM is compatible.
e.g. a new AMD socket AM3 motherboard only supports DDR3 RAM.

Re:from intel to amd: nice call! Welcome to AMD, it's safer here. (I play too much Half-Life2)
just a question, what pci-x device do you plan on using? That's a bit of an obscure bus (like ts said, in consumer level hardware) If you NEED one, tyan makes some boards you might like. If i'm not mistaken though, they all run on Opteron. Not sure they have to other things you mentioned though. ![]()

Re:I feel you may as well look into that Chaintech though if you want to go PCIe at all, be it in the near future or later than that–it's only $120 and will accomodate S939 CPUs for a while. You can also try overclocking with it, though no reviews have been done to see how it fares at that yet. (I would expect fairly good results, though, as that was what we saw with their value nForce3 250 board for S754.)

Re:They are limiting him because maybe he is one of those guys that does not upgrade his system very often. Therefore in a few years agp will be like pci is now obsolete.
Currently, you can get GeForce 6800 series for both AGP and PCI-E. This is as high as a sane person might want to go. Their performance is pretty much the same. There is no point in picking in PCI-E "for the future", as more powerful video cards are going to be limited by your CPU, and significant CPU upgrades will require change of motherboard anyway. So, I see no point in longing for PCI-E right now

Re:For your SATA II (why this is necessary now I have no idea) and PCIe x16, there's the new Chaintech VNF4/Ultra. You'll have a hard time finding PCI-X in a consumer level board, though.

The Lost Arts Of War
Re:PCI-E and SATA II are fairly useless on their own, and I find it hard to come up with any sort of computer-related activity that requires support of those technologies (unless we count "my machine supports more technologies then your does" penis measurement). So, what do you want to do with that board? How are boards that only have AGP and regular SATA (like these (http://www.linuxhardware.org/article.pl?sid=04/03/24/1933214&mode=thread)) limiting you? Inquisiting minds want to know.
